Patent number: 10272177Abstract: Joint resurfacing and/or replacement devices, systems and methods that include thin film ternary ceramic coatings that are effective to provide reliable articulation and bearing surfaces and protection of both articular and modular junction surfaces from the potential for corrosion, wear, and fretting, and reduce the potential for release of metal ions from the joint systems. Isoelasticity is provided according to the particular joint resurfacing/replacement devices, systems and methods based on parameters that include material of construction, porosity and coating system. The thin film ternary ceramic coatings may be functionalized to enhance hydrophilicity and may be employed in any anatomical articulating joint region. Titanium alloy composite structures are provided that include an ultra-porous structured titanium alloy bone fixation surface and an opposed solid articular surface and a thin film ternary ceramic coating applied to one or both opposed surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Acuitive Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alex Khowaylo, James Malayter, Michael P.

Patent number: 8388024Abstract: A mailer intermediate, foldable into postcard size, includes a generally rectangular sheet of card stock having first and second side edges, first and second end edges, and first and second faces. A fold line extends substantially transverse to the side edges and substantially bisecting them, and dividing the sheet into first and second portions. An adhesive pattern on the first face of the sheet, adjacent at least one of the first and second end edges, secures the first and second portions together adjacent the first and second end edges. An obscuring coating and a camouflage image are provided on the first face of the sheet. Variable indicia are printed on the obscuring coating, and are not legible when viewed by an observer who separates the first and second portions while the first and second portions remain secured together adjacent the first and second end edges. The obscuring coating may comprise a multi-layer, thermochromic coating.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2009Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: The Standard Register CompanyInventors: Rajendra Mehta, Thomas Furey, Amit Chaudhary, David Washburn, Courtney Allen

Publication number: 20050064151Abstract: A security document including layers of security coatings disposed on a substrate. The coating layers include a first security coating disposed on the substrate and a second security coating disposed on the first security coating. One of the security coatings is a solvent-sensitive coating, while the other is an abrasion-sensitive coating. Together, these coatings ensure that attempts at tampering with the document produce notorious indicia of such tampering. The security document is particularly adapted for ink jet printing. Additional security features may include thermochromic ink, bar codes, and pantographic warnings, as well as another solvent-sensitive security coating that is distinct from the earlier-described solvent-sensitive coating. By way of example, this second solvent-sensitive coating could be configured to be sensitive to particular forms of tampering, such as where solutions containing phosphoric acid are used to tamper with the document.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2003Publication date: March 24, 2005Inventors: Rajendra Mehta, Sean Hastings, David Washburn

Patent number: 6493072Abstract: A system and method for finding the position of a waveguide in a planar optical device that has application to the coupling of light to a planar optical waveguide without connectors. The system comprises input and output optical fiber probes, a light source, a photo or light detector and a optical power meter. The light detector is positioned at the exit of the optical waveguide of interest. Typically, the position of the waveguide will be known with some window of uncertainty. Assuming that the photo detector is a photodiode, the area of the photodiode is preferably large enough that the exit of the waveguide can be assumed to lie within the detection area of the photodiode. The input optical fiber probe is coupled to the light source and is moved across the uncertainty window of the entry to the waveguide. The light transmitted through the waveguide to the photo detector is measured and used to find the position of the entry to the way guide.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Medberry, Benno Guggenheimer, David Washburn
